Well I bought an alpine jacket from here second hand. Works well.

Have some shorts too.

They seem to work well for what I need.

Unless you have a better kiwi made and owned company to buy from?

I find myself steering away from Swazi these days which is a shame because it is very good gear .

I have a lot of Swazi gear, it was my go to brand for nearly 20 years.

I won't buy another item from them, or from the hunting and fishing chain

And just like that. As quick a flash. And without consultation. You relegate me to #2. Cruel.

Now that made me cackle. I guess somewhere further down the list I too have been relegated. Ha ha ha ha

This. The green shop is the only place local that I can get powder for reloading, so I'm buggered until a dealer mate does a powder run from Steve's Wholesale. Still rather go without than spend a cent there.

I still buy Swazi socks as I have very small feet and so far have found none elsewhere that fit me properly and last, they are the only socks I wear for both work and the back country. I don't buy anything else as I can't afford to.

While we're at it, we may as well quit drinking beer; stop purchasing mass manufactured clothing; stop eating chocolate; stop purchasing ammunition and firearms (do you think Beretta, Colt, and other long-standing arms companies have ever given a toss about the wellbeing of human beings?)

Davey's opinions and personal beliefs have no bearing on the utility (or lackthereof) of his products. And isn't that the whole point of purchasing something? Because you like the product, or believe it'll add value to your life?

---

No but like many other companies, if there are several options people chose on things like service, reputation and yes even actions and opinions of the company employees, shareholders and owners.

My household does this all the time to inform our purchasing decisions. Environmental standards, company ethics, operation policy, etc etc. Its not always possible, but given there is no shortage of hunting and outdoor clothing brands available it's easy enough to chose to shop elsewhere.

That and tbh I've never been that amazed by Swazi gear. It's well made but not particularly well designed, doesn't use top end materials and is for the most part, very heavy. Combine that with the fact it is eye wateringly expensive, and yeah I'll spend my bucks elsewhere

I am quite certain he doesn’t. I share his frustration though as it is fucking annoying having a fellow firearms enthusiast refer to the enforced confiscation of legally held property as having toys taken. That said I also see that that particular comment was made in response to an insult and I am fairly certain that if anyone called me a fudd to my face I would punch the cunt and then kick him in the nuts and likely not stop there.

Yup me too. Last for ages

I have one swazi windbreaker top thats all.
If youve ever met the guy you can form your own opinion. Mine is over priced, over hyped, and self centred.

---

Had the defence force contract. It was shit gear

The difference between one mans opinion and the likes of Swazi, F&G and H&F saying what they said is that they are all far more prominent in the community and the media/Government took their opinion as representative of all firearm owners. Especially when it was just trying to save themselves or to get their 5 minutes of ignorance broadcast to the nation.
If you don't think one persons opinion is worth more than anothers, have you not heard of the Kardashians or other influencers?

The thing that pissed me of the most about H&F is that they said they didn't sell ARs anyway, yet the next magazine that came out had AR15s and 9mm Rugers in there!

I'm in the market for a new jacket, unfortunately for me H&F have a great sale on Hunters Element and also stock some exclusive products of theirs.
I've messaged Hunters Element to see if those products are available elsewhere as I wont be spending another cent in H&F, I look forward to their reply.

Whilst can save nearly 50% with the current H&F sale, those bastards wont be getting my money even if I'm the looser at the end of it.

Ionce put a 180gn .303 softnose into a hare-all i got back was part of a back leg -the rest was composted over assorted forest gridsquares.
my .303 is also great for knocking dead possums out of trees.

I sold some Kuiu stuff so feel a little 'out of stock'. @Masperjay especially jackets. I am going through a First Lite phase and it is really very good gear.

Primarily Fjällräven out of Sweden. - but don't touch their Aus/NZ website. It's not got their full range.

There are a few other brands I'll have a look when I'm home.
